| Jun 10, 2011 at 8:36 | comment | added | DMA57361 Mod | FYI: There was a recent feature change made so that if the original asker of a question places a bounty and accepts an answer during the bounty period, but doesn't allocate the bounty - then the full bounty is awarded to that accepted answer when the timer expires. This was done mainly to catch users who didn't realise the two actions weren't linked, but also allows you to provisionally accept an answer, while holding the bounty for a bit longer without fear of missing the deadline. | |
